Saw Rack

Here's a simple way to hang large handsaws and backsaws on a wall. The rack is European beech.  The four outer frame pieces are assembled with handcut dovetails.  The hanging strips at the top & bottom use mortise & tenon joints.
I found that a 30 degree angle for the slots works well.  The slots are about 1/8" wide and spaced vertically every 3 inches.  The 3" spacing works well if you alternate the handles as I have shown.  This rack is about 18" wide, which works fine for 24-26" saws.  Make the width to suit your saws.
Hint: For some good info on handsaws, check out Ralph Brendler's page in my [Links].
